Arsène Wenger, the Arsenal manager, has called on Fifa to introduce compulsory
blood testing to prevent football falling prey to the kind of
institutionalised doping that has plagued cycling in recent years.

After a week in which Europol announced that as many as 380 games across the
Continent — including the 2009 Champions League tie between Liverpool and
Debrecen — may have been vulnerable to match-fixers, Wenger suggested that
sport is brimming with “legends who are, in fact, cheats”, and called on the
game to be vigilant against the threat of “corruption, match-fixing and
doping”.
